Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1421 Youqiongshi

Seeing that neither Lu Chen nor their leader spoke, but their expressions were constantly changing, the members of the Dragon Tiger Gang immediately guessed that the two were communicating telepathically about something important, and they all waited quietly by their side.

After hearing the other party propose cooperation, Lu Chen pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, saying, "Then I shall gladly accept. I wish us a pleasant cooperation. By the way, may I ask your esteemed name, fellow Daoist?"

Upon seeing this, Yan Kebo, the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang, was overjoyed, and a genuine smile appeared on his face. He quickly adjusted his posture, cupped his hands in a salute, and said with anticipation in his tone, "I am Yan Kebo. It is truly an honor to fight alongside you, fellow Daoist. May I ask your name?"

Lu Chen's strength was in no way inferior to any Dao Cultivation Saint Emperor, so the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gang treated him with great courtesy.

"Lu Mengnan," Lu Chen said with a fist and palm salute, "Since that's the case, why not set off today?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Kebo's eyes, but it quickly turned into agreement: "Brother Lu is absolutely right. In that case, I will settle in and then set off with you."

Then he turned and instructed, "Brothers, you should all return to Longhu Mountain first. Brother Lu and I have more important matters to attend to, so don't worry about us." His words were filled with unquestionable authority.

Hearing the leader's instructions, although everyone was puzzled, they knew that this was not the time to ask questions. They nodded in agreement and then turned to leave in the direction of Longhu Mountain.

For a moment, only Lu Chen and Yan Kebo remained in the same spot.

"Brother Lu, please."

Yan Kebo clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, indicating that Lu Chen could set off.

Immediately, the two took flight and headed northwest, with rolling mountains and vast, boundless land beneath their feet.

During the flight, a gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness. But this tranquility was soon broken by Yan Kebo:

"Brother Lu, we are both cultivators, so we know that every step is extremely difficult. Do you think it's possible that in the Southern Barbarian Prefecture, two cultivators capable of fighting beyond their level will appear at the same time? And both of them will have the surname Lu?"

"Brother Yan, what do you mean by that?" Lu Chen frowned upon hearing this, alarm bells immediately ringing in his mind, and his voice carried a hint of coldness.

He stopped and stared sharply at Yan Kebo, secretly calculating that if Yan Kebo really intended to do something wicked, he would kill him here even if it meant abandoning the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring.

Sensing the sudden surge of killing intent emanating from Lu Chen, Yan Kebo's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained, "It's a misunderstanding... It's all a misunderstanding. I just wanted to confirm with Brother Lu whether you are Lu Chen, because this is very important to me."

Hearing this, Lu Chen's gaze softened slightly, but he remained wary. "Oh? Then tell me why it's important? And what does it have to do with whether I'm Lu Chen or not?"

Yan Kebo sighed, his expression turning serious, and said, "Brother Lu, to be honest, I am actually a descendant of the Youqiong clan. Yan Kebo is just an alias; my real name is Yun Kebo."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly, his eyes revealing complex emotions, including confusion and wariness.

"Youqiong clan?" Lu Chen repeated the name in a low voice, his mind quickly searching for information about the term.

However, aside from feeling like I'd heard it somewhere before, I knew nothing else about it.

Yun Kebo seemed to see the doubt in Lu Chen's heart and continued, "In ancient times, when the Divine Domain was still a complete world, we had the Qiong Clan, which was once a prestigious family. And our ancestor was the legendary Yi the Archer."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he asked in shock:

"What? You mean you're a descendant of Youqiong? The legendary Yi who shot down nine suns and saved the world? How is that possible?"

Lu Chen knew a little about both the TV dramas from his past life and the memories sealed within the Bow of the Sun, but he never expected that the burly man in front of him would be a descendant of the Youqiong clan.

"Then what do you mean by telling me all this?" Lu Chen asked, trying to calm himself down.

Yun Kebo continued, "Brother Lu, you may not know this, but according to the records in the jade slips passed down through generations of my clan, since the War of the Gods..."

As time passed, the Youqiong clan gradually declined, and many records about us disappeared into the long river of history.

Until recently, we discovered some secrets about our ancestors, as well as the location of some long-lost techniques and treasures.

The most eye-catching of these is the mysterious spring that can enhance cultivation and even potentially change one's destiny—the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes sharpened from confusion. He vaguely guessed something, knowing that this was not just a simple recounting of family history, but more likely the key to unlocking the secrets of their journey.

"So, you mean that your Youqiong clan has been searching for a way to restore its family glory, and that's why you've set your sights on me?"

"No, no, no... Brother Lu, please don't misunderstand." Yun Kebo shook his head and denied it.

"My Qiong clan has been passed down to this day, but it has declined to almost nothing left. Otherwise, I wouldn't have organized a group of brothers to do that kind of robbery and plunder."

The reason I asked if you were Lu Chen is because I've already guessed Brother Lu's identity, and we share a common enemy.

"If you, Brother Lu, are willing to grant me one condition, I will offer you the Sun-Chasing Sacred Arrow, the most precious treasure of my Qiong clan. What do you say, Brother Lu?"

"What are the conditions? Why don't you tell me?" Lu Chen asked without hesitation.

Because he had already guessed that the holy arrow Yun Kebo mentioned should be the arrow that comes with the "Sun Chasing Bow". Currently, he only has the one given to him by the old Taoist priest, which is definitely not enough. If he could collect more arrows, it would greatly enhance the power of the "Sun Chasing Bow".

"My condition is that you destroy the Vajra Sect for me," Yun Kebo said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with hatred for the Vajra Sect.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's face instantly turned extremely ugly. He stared wide-eyed at Yun Kebo in disbelief, "You want me to destroy the Vajra Sect? Are you crazy?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Kebo did not say anything more, but quietly looked at Lu Chen, seemingly waiting for his answer.

Lu Chen shook his head firmly, "First of all, my strength is not enough to fight against the Vajra Sect, one of the five great holy sects."

Secondly, even though I am currently wanted by them, the conflict between me and the Vajra Sect is not so serious that I would think of wiping them out at the drop of a hat.

Therefore, Brother Yun, you should find someone else! While the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring is precious, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of enjoying it. Farewell!

With that, Lu Chen prepared to turn and leave...
